The Province of New Brunswick, one oi'tlie eight Provinces •of the Dominion of Canada, is bounded on the North by the Prov- ince of Quebec, tlie Restigouche River and Baie des Chaleurs ; on the East by the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Northumberland Strait, which divides it from Prince Edward Island ; on the South by a small portion of the Province of Nova Scotia, Chignecto Bay and the Bay of Fundy; on the Went by the River St. Croix and the State of Maine of the United States of America. New Brunswick is divided into fifteen Counties, viz : — 1. llcstigouche, 9. Kin^s. 2. Gloucester. 10. .". Nortlunnbcrlan<], 11. 4. Kent, V2. 5. Westmorltiiul. l;>. G. Albert, 1-t. 7.

Ihc •It'cu of New Brunswick as given bv the Census of 1870,-1 is 17,393,410 acres or about 27,177 square miles. The '''reatesi leno'tli of Now Brunswick is from North to South, a distance of about 230 miles, and the greatest width is about 190 miles, with a sea-board of some ^ib miles. The M*opttl€itioti in 1801 was 252,04:7, and in 1871 it reached 285,777, showing an increiise in ten years ot 33,730. At the pres- -3nt time (1879) it would probably reach something over 310,000.

The other amounts are roughly estimated, but will be found sufficiently correct for all practical purposes. The able includes the amount of all grants to the New Brunswick Railway Company. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. The Soil of New Brunswick is capable of producing great quantities of grain and fruits, as well as root crops. Jay is grown in abundance on the " intervales" or low lands, and the yield on the high lands is from one to three tons per acre. Wheat, oats, buckwheat, rye, barley and flax grow well in the country. Pota- toes, turnips,*^ beets, carrots, parsnips celery, ettuce, cabbage, cucumbers; pumpkins, squashes, etc., thrive in a parts. Apples plums cherries, goose-berries and currants are the common fruit crops 'but strawberries, and raspberries are also common. > i. 1 T Satut John situated on the mouth of the River Samt John. It is the Commercial Capital of New Brunswick, aud has a pop- ulation of about 45,000, including the town of Portland It does an immense shipping business with foreign and local markets, and NEW BRUNSWICK. 5 > i. 1 T I is largely engaged in manufactures'of many kinds. Its harbor may be reckoned among the finest on the Continent, and is open during all, seasons ot the year. As a shipping port Saint John ranks fourth in the British Empire. The following article taken from the Daily Telegraph of January 27th, 1879, will give an idea of the amount of its shipping : — TiiK Shippino of New Buunswick.— " To-day, in accordance with our custom, we present our readers with a list of all the vessels registered in this Province, and rcmaininj? on the registry books of the several ports on the 31st December, 1878. It is gratifying "to bo able to note that the tonnage of the Province, as a whole, has increased, as will be seen by the following comparison of the tonnage on the 31st December of 1877 and 1878 respectively: — T0NNAl l^Sy •••• -•• •••« Brigantincs, 8chooners, Woodboats, olOOUSy •••• •••• «ao* AV6tCil* •••• •••• •••• Steamers, 1,162 335,965 1,133 329,469 It will be seen trom the above that during the year the province has increased its shipping by 29 vessels and 6,506 tons; not a largo gain '>y any means, but still something." " The following table shows the tonnage of the port of St. John on the 31st December, 1878 and 1877 respectively: — No. Tons.

The causes ot tl»e decrease were of an abnormal and un- usual character, and not likely to be repeated. Slill, notwithstanding this decrease, St. John still stands far ahead of every other Canadian port, and is still the fourth port in the British Empire in i)oint of tonnage."— 7'e //raj}h,JcnK2'}, 1879. 'We- G NEW BRUNSWICK. rrcderUlon the Capital ot New Brunswick is situated on the South-West bank of the River Saint John, about niiiety miles above the City of Saint John. Its streets run at right angles, and are adorned with trees, which add greatly to its appear- ance during the summer and autumn months. The House of Assembly, Government House, and the different Departmental offices, the University of New Brunswick (formerly King's Col- lege), and the Provincial Normal School nre located here. Con- siderable trade in lumber is done here, principally in deals^ shingles, clap-boards, railway sleepers, etc. The population may be estimated at about 7,000. Among the other towns of the Province may be mentioned the following, varying in population from 1,000 to 3,000 or more : — In Restigouche County,— Dalhousic and Campbollton. '* Gloucester " — Bathurst and Caraquet. '' Northumberland" — Newcastle, Chatham, Douglastown, Nelson, Blackville, Boiestown and Doaktown. — Richibucio, Buctouche, Kingston. — Moncton, Shediac, iSackviUe and Dorchester. — Hopewell and Hillsborough. — St. Stephen and St. Andrews. — Woodstock. — • Grand Falls and Andovor. — Edmundston. — IIampton,Kingston,Sussex,Rothsay — Gagetown. — Oromocto.

The Saint John, Miramichi, Restigouche, Saint Croix, Petit- codiac, Richibucto and Nepisiguit are the principal Rivers, but the whole face of the Province^'is intersected with Rivers of dif- ferent magnitude. - , o ^ at - The River Saint JoUn takes its rise m the fetate oi Maine, between 450 and 500 miles from the sea. For some distance it forms the boundary between Maine and New Brunswick, and after running through the Counties cf Madawaska, Victoria, Carleton, York Snnburv. Queens, Kings and Saint John, N. B., it dis- charges itself into'the Bay of>undy. It is navigable for large vessels from Saint John to Fredericton, a distance of ninety miles, but shallow bottomed steamers ply as far as Woodstock, and boats run to Grand Falls during rainy seasons. It is a highway of trade during the summer months for crafts of many kinds, which on tho down trips bring deals, shingles, clap-boards, etc., to market, and 1 -r k 1 ) . i NEW BUUNSWICK. * on the up trips articles for the use of larinerB on the river sides. Large quantities of fish, including salmon, shad, ba?s and sturgeon, are caught all along the river. Scenery, etc. Wide intervales lie along this river, the soil of which is very fertile. The scenery is of the most magnificent description, ever varying in freshness and beauty. Large quan- tities of lumber, cut on the river and its tributaries, are driven in rafts, in spring, down the river to Saint John. The Jfliratniehi takes its rise in the County of Carleton and runs easterly to and through York and Northumberland Coun- ties, and empties into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Immense quantities of lumber are driven down this river to supply the many milling establishments along its banks, some of which are the finest in the Province. Its lumber exports are only exceeded in New Brunswick by that of Saint John. It is navigable for vessels of tlie largest class from its mouth to Nelson, a distance of forty- six miles. Its natural manufacturing facilities are excellent, and their value is greatly increased by liaving at Newcastle a deep water terminus of the Intercolonial Raiway and the Chatham Branch Railway, intersecting the Intercoloni d Railway at Nelson, afford- ing inter-communication and connection with the outside world. During the spring and fall freshets steamers ply with little difficulty on the South West Branch, u distance ot fifty miles above Newcastle. and on the North West Branch to Red Bank, as also to the mouth ot the River at all seasons of the year. The branches of the Mira- michi extend over and drain lully one quarter of the Province. It is noted for its fisheries : Salmon, Lobster, Trout, Bass, Smelt, etc., are exported in enormous quantities to Great Britain, t^nited States and elsewhere during the whole year. The Reslisouehe for a considerable distance iorms the northern boundary of the Province (Avhich it divides from Quebec) and discharges into Baie des Chaleurs. Much lumber is also cut and driven on this river. The harbor affords security to all ves- sels, for its depth -f water and safety of anchorage. The Saint Crotx divides tiie State of Maine from tlie prov- ince of New ]3runiwick at its soutli western part. Its source is a chain of largo lakes called tiie Cheputnecticook Lakes. A small steamer runs lor twenty-four miles on thes - lakes up to Princetown. Considerable lumber is still cut in the vicinity ot the river, but the largest part has been culled some time since. The. Petiicoaiac discharges into the Shepody Bay, at the liead ot the Bay of Fundy, after running through the fertile and grass-growing counties of Westmorland and Albert. the Richihucto is the largest river, excepting the Mira- raichi. It t'mpties into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The JVepisimiit takes its rise in Northumberland County, near the head waters of the Tobique River, a branch of the River 8 NEW BRUNSWICK. Saint John It runs easterly and northerly and discharges into Baie dea Chaleurs. I^ i? not navigable for large vsssclaJ loumts visit its waters every summor to fish with the fly for salmon, i he Pabiueau Falls, nine miles from its mouth, and the Grand J^alls twelve miles farther up the river, are noted for their rugged beauty and picturesque surroundings. the Baie des Chaleurs abound in Mackerel, balmon, Ood and Lobsters. There are a number of factories for packing Lobsters along its shores. FORESTS. T The forests abound with a large variety of trees. A.mong the principal growths may be mentioned the Spruce, Pine, Birch, Beech, Maple, Tamarack, Hemlock and Cedar. The Spruce Tree is now the most valuable of all the va- rities, being the most plentiful, and most extensively used in ship building. It is also from this tree that the principal part of the sawn lumber exported from the Province is manufactured. The Pine Tree, of which there are several varieties, was in former years verv plentiful, but is now comparatively scarce. It is a much tine/ wood than the Spruce, and the lumber manu- lactured from it is much sought after, from the ease with which it can be worked and from the beautifully smooth finish it takes. It is used to a great extent for the trimmings of buildings and some- times for furniture. The Birch is largely used in ship building, but when ex- ported is generally in the form of what is called square or ton timber. ,,11 ^J.^^ The Beech is somewhat like the Birch, though more brittle, but the grain not so close. Beech, Birch and Maple arc the best and most used for fuel. , The Maple is a very valuable wood. It is extensively used in the manufacture of furniture, and lor many other purposes. A variety called Bird's-eve Maple is susceptible of a most beautiful polish, and the peculiarity of the grain, being spotted, makes it much sought after for fancv tables, chairs, boxes, etc. From the sap of the maple the settler in New Brunswick can make his own sugar and molasses. The sap is taken from the tree by making a hole in the bark and inserting a spout or spile, which conveys the sap into a vessel placed to receive it. When the sap js secured, it is boiled down until of the proper consistency, when it is allowed to cool : this makes the honey or molasses. If sugar be required the syrup must be subjected to more boiling, and when thick enough, it is run into moulds of any desired shape,vand allowed to remain until hardened. The extraction of the sap does not injure the tree for eight or ten years if it be tapped with care. iL NEW BRUNSWICK. 9 T The honey sells in the markets of the cities for from eighty cents to one dollar per gallon, and the sugar realises from eight to fif- teen cents per pound. Tamarack is used in the numerous ship yards for knees, frame work, plank, treenails, etc. It is a comparatively scarce wood. . 1 • 1 Hemlock is principally cut for its bark, which is used in the many tanneries throughout the Province in the manufacture of leather. At present there is a great demand for this bark, and un- less more stringent measures be used for the preservation of this valuable tree, before many years the supplv will be exhausted. The lumber cut trom this tree is now coming into more general use than formerly, being used for the inner covering of buildings. It lasts well under water and is therefore used for wharves, etc. . It is also much used for stable floors. The Cedar makes the best fencing that the farmer can have, as its lasting qualities are proverbial. It may lie exposed to the weather for many years without any perceptible change in its soundness. It is therefore largely used for the exposed work of bridges. Many other varieties of trees grow in the forests ot JNew Brunswick, but they are not yet of sufficient commercial value to entitle them to notice here. The best settlement land, or land for agricultural purposes, is generally conceded to be that which is timbered with hard-wood, that is Birch, Beech and Maple ; but the diflerent qualities of soil as judged by the growth of tree^, will be more fully treated of further on. RAILWAYS. iL There are a number of Railway lines in the Province. Be- ginning at Saint John, the railway centre, and going North and East we have the Intercolonial Railway running to Moncton and thence to Halifax, in Nova Scotia. From Moncton a branch line runs to Shediac, while the main Intercolonial Railway runs North from Moncton through the Counties of Westmorland, Kent, North- umberland, Gloucester and Restigouche, crossing the Restigouche River, the nothern boundary of the Province, at Metapedia and thence to the City of Quebec. Tlio Chatham Branch line connects Chatham witli the Inter- colonial Railway at Chatham Junction, six miles from New- castle. Another branch line connects Salisbury, in Westmorland County, with Hopewell, in Albert County; another runs from Petticodiac Station to Elgin, Albert County, both feeders ot the Intercolonial Raihvay. 10 NEW BRUNSWICK. Returning to ^aint John, and going westward, is the Saint John and Maine Railwa}^ connecting Saint John and Bangor, State of Maine, crossing the Western boundary of the Province at Vance- borough. Another line called the New Brunswick and Canada Railway runs from Woodstock, Carleton County, to St. Andrews and St. Stephen, in Charlotte County, and crosses the Saint John and Maine Railway at McAdam Junction. The New Brunswick Railway starts at Gibson, on the North- East side of the River Saint John, opposite Fredericton, and runs to Edmundston in Madawaska County. It has a branch running into Woodstock from Woodstock Junction, and another running from the mouth oi the Tobiquc River to Caribou, in the State of Maine. The St. Martins' and Uphara Railway runs from Hampton Station, Intercolonial Railway, to Quaco, on the shore of the Bay ofFundy, in Saint John County. Other lines are in course of construction, but not yet completed. An idea of the Railway facilities of the Province may be thus summarized: — A traveller may leave Edmundston, in the North- western portion of the Province, travel South and East to Freder- icton, South and East to Saint John, East, North and West to Cam- bellton or Dalhousie, in Restigouche County, thus juaking an almost entire circuit of the Province : and within about forty hours from the time of starting. ROADS. Good wagon roads intersect the Province in all directions where settlements have been formed. Large expenditures are made yearly by the Government for keeping these roads in repair, and in addition to this each resident in the country districts is taxed an amount, according to the value of his property, for such repairs. Many residents in the countr}' districts, instead of pay- ing the aipount of road tax in cash, perform work on the roads to an amount equivalent to the amount of tax: fifty cents in cash being equivalent to one day's work on the roads. By this means the roads throughout the Province are generally kept in good order and at little expense to the resident. TELEGRAPH AND POSTAL FACnJTIES. Telegraphic Lines are established throughout all parts of the Province, connecting the principal towns and larger villages with each other, and with the outside world by means of the ocean Cables. Each line of Railway has its telegraph wire, and along many of the great roads the wires also extend, giving every facility L NEW RKUNSWrCK. It L for news and information between tlio most remote parts ot the Province. The rate ior sending a despatcli within the Province is generally twenty-five cents for ten words, and one cent for each additional word. The postal facilities are also remarkably good, even the most remote and sparsely settled districts having tiieir regular mail. Letter postage from any point in New Brunswick to any point in the Dominion of Canada or the United States is but three cents per half ounce in weight, or under, while the postage to England is only five cents for the same weight. SCHOOLS. The Schools of the Province are free, and supported by direct taxation and by grants of money from Government. A sum am- ounting to one-fifth ot the annual revenue is expended by the Gov- ernment for educational purposes.

This settlement is reached i. .-m the lower part of the Prov- mce by the New Brunswick Railway to Perth Station on the Mstern side of the St. John River, thence following the road up tfie South side of the Tobique River and crossing the same at the Craig Bar; thence by a road leading to and through the settle- ment. Aiiother route is from the mouth of Little River, at the tot. John River, by a road leading up the said Little River to and through Block X. S. A. Cameron, Esq., the Commissioner, resides at Andover, on the Western side of the St. John River below the mouth of the Tobique River. Markets for the produce raised are found at Andover and Perth, or with buyers who visit the settle- ment and ship the produce procured themselves.

A good market is also found at Aadovor, which is but eleven miles distant, and goods may be shipped by the New Brunswick Railway to Wood- stock, Frederioton, and St. John. This settlement boasts of a post ufli?.o, two school houses, and a church. Mails are received and delivered threo times a week. The school houses and church are good frame buildings, and free from debt. Schools have been in operation for the last two and a halt years. The settlers, with the exception of two families, are Scotch Presbyterians, and emi- grated i'rom Scotland in 1873. This settlement has the advan aage ot a rentral locality, easy access to all parts of the Province, a good grisL mill in the Aefctlement , schools, churches, etc. Several old settlements are in the vicinity, viz: the old settlement on the Eastern bank of the St. John River, the Moose Mountain and John- ville settlements on the South, and the Kintore Settlement on the Nortli. On the East is a large tract ot Crown Land yet unsurveyed, but which is. reported equal to any land in the Province for settle- ment. It could be made available for the extension ol Stonehaven. KINTORE. Kintore extends fr.>m Stonehaven northerly to tlie lands front- ing on the South side of the Tobique River, and is in the Parish of Perth. The settlement road runs from the Stonehaven road to the highway road on ihe South side of the Tobique River. It contains 19,G0D acres ; already applied for, 10,000 acres ; leaving still vacant, 3,G00 acres. The lots are numbered from 1 to 27, 34 to 73, and 100 to 150, and are divided into 100 acres and 200 acres for each lot. Tiie means of access to this settlement are similar to those ot Stonehaven, except that after reaching Stonehaven you ibllow the Ivintore road along the valley of the Muniac River to and through the settlement; or, approaching the settlement from the Northern side, you take the road up the South side of the To- . bique River to where the Kintore road intersects it. The qualities of the soil vary,, containing gravel, loam, clay and some cedar swamps. Tiie principal timber is spruce, maple, birch, beech i.\nd cedar. The following is an estimate of the average crop raised : Oats per acre, 30 bushels, worth per bushel, 40 cents.

The principal markets for the produce of Kintore are at the stores on the ^t. John River, at Andover and Muniac Station, but produce may bo shipped via the New Brunswick Railway to St. John or Frederictou. The settlement has a post office, two school houses and a church. The nationality of the settlers is Scotch and the religious denomination Presbyterian. This settlement is as conveniently located as Stonehaven, and indeed all the ad- vantages claimed for the latter may be quoted for Kin- tore. The resident Commissioner is Thomas Cummings, Esq., who may be addressee at Kintore, Victoria County, N. B. RED RAPJDS. This settlement lies on the Southern side of the Tobiquo Riv- er, in the Parishes of Gordon and Perth, in the County of Victoria. It is intersected by Trout Brook and Otellock River, branches of the Tobique River, and adjoins Kintore settlement on the North- East. It contains 10,000 acres; already taken, 5,000 acres: still vacant, 5,000 acres. A road is laid out through the settlement and runs in a North- Westerly direction until it strikes the road lead- ing up the South side of the Tobique River, near the mouth of Trout Brook. The distance from the settlement to the river road is about 2\ miles, and the distance to Perth or Andover, on the New Bruns wick Railway, is about sixteen miles. The soil is ot a first rate quality, and is of a dark red color, due to the large percentage of plaster which it contains. The growth of timber is of large birch, maple and other hard wood intermixed with spruce. No crops have yet been raised, as the first clearings were only made in July. 1878; but judging from appearances the land must be very pro- ductive. A market may be had with the parties engaged in lum- bering in the vicinity, or goods m{iy be sold at or shipped from Perth and Andover. The settlers are native born and of various denominations. This settlement has the advantage of convenient locality, being only 16 miles from the New Brunswick Railway, and having a good road down the Tobique River for that distance. It is also convenient to other settlements, and to postal accom- modations, although there is no post office in the settlement. The Commissioner is J. H. Brewer, li'sq., Gordon, Victoria County. SISSON RIDGE. This settlement lies in the Parishes of Lome and Gordon, Vic- toria County, on the West side of the Tonique River, about 18 or 20 miles from its mo'ith.

The total contents of the lots surveyed are 9,920 acres , of which are already applied for, 3,117 acres ; leaving still vacant, 6,803 acres. A large tract was sur- veyed to the East of Patrievilie, comprising six tiers of lots con- taining about 25,600 acres. When Patrievilie has been all applied for, this tract can be utilized to extend the settlement, and there are still large quantities of vacant Crown Land to the South-Bast. Tiie quality of the land is good, made up of a rich loam. It is especially goud on Tier 1, East, and Tier 2, and along the valley of the Oroquois River ; and considerable intervales.
